One of the main talking points around the first season of House of the Dragon was that it was just setting up for all the exciting stuff to come. Having enjoyed Season 2 quite a bit, it’s still pretty funny that this descriptor applies to the finale, more than perhaps any other episode in the show’s history. It’s the furthest thing imaginable from an ending.
It’s great, though, don’t get me wrong. It impressively entangles multiple season-long subplots and builds to a truly momentous-feeling conclusion that promises big things for Season 3. But then again, the first season ended a bit like that as well, and here we are.
But it’s a more packed episode than usual too, zipping around between different locations and perspectives, and paying off longstanding arcs and dynamics that have been patiently developing over time. So, let’s break it all down so that when the war does begin, we’ll know who’s who and what’s what.
